Chin and Neck Liposuction
Chin Liposuction can create a more youthful and balanced appearance to the chin, jawline and neck regions.

Very small incision, improved jaw line
This is a great question. Chin liposuctions (sometime referred to as submental or neck liposuction) is good for patients with a "full neck" who do not have a well-defined jaw line. Chin liposuction can be performed with a very small (0.5 cm) incision under the chin and similar incisions behind the earlobes. Through these small incisions, the entire neck and chin area can be liposuctioned effectively. By removing the excess fat in the neck and chin areas, the jaw line becomes...

Chin liposuction
Chin liposuction can significantly improve the appearance of the neck area immediately under the chin. The operation is performed through a tiny incision under the chin and excess fat is removed. Patients go home the same day. The area looks normal in a week or two and significantly improves the appearance of the neck and chin

Liposuction to treat a double chin
Chin liposuction, also called neck liposuction or submental liposuction, is a procedure to remove excess fat from the neck, just under/behind the chin. The purpose of the surgery is to give patients a cleaner looking neck and jawline and to treat the "double chin." I usually recommend this procedure in patients who are at their baseline weight, but still have a persistence of fat under the chin.
The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia (with light...

Neck & chin liposuction give great results
Having performed more than 100 neck and face liposuctions over the years, I can tell you that liposuction of the neck (submental) greatly enhances appearance and makes the patient look younger and more refined.

Chin/neck liposuction
Chin and neck liposuction is an excellent alternative to more invasive procedures such as a necklift/platysmaplasty. You will not be able to repair the platysma muscle with liposuction (platysmal banding). You will also not be able to get as much contouring as you could with surgery, but the results can be very impressive. Some plastic surgeons would suggest using an additional energy source such as ultrasound (VASER) or laser (SMART or SLIM) liposuction to tighten the skin even more. ...

Chin liposuction results
The hallmark of a youthful neck is a sharp ACUTE angle between the like of the neck and that of the jaw. This angle is largely aided by youthful skin which is adherent to the underlying musculature, a paucity (NOT absence) of fat and a flat, two bellied muscle called the platysma which is very adherent to the deeper structures of the chest, neck and jaw.
As we age,gain weight both above and below the platysma, the muscle becomes redundant and comes off its attachment converting the acute...

The benefits of liposuction are improvements in the contour of the neck, reduction of the accumulated and undesired fat under chin and creation of a delineation line between chin and neck. It also eliminate the ilusion of having a short neck.

What are the benefits of chin liposuction?
Liposuction of the chin is actually liposuction of the neck and is for someone with excess fat in their neck and under the chin, but not too much extra skin. Some of the skin will tighten with liposuction alone, but your plastic surgeon will assess you see if a neck lift is also necessary. Liposuciton alone is a very simple procedure that takes about 30 minutes and is done though a very small incision under the chin, and if necessary, one in front of each ear. The results can make someone...

Double chin surgery
The process required to correct a double chin will vary from patient to patient. In a younger person, it might entail merely liposuction.That will remove the bulky fat below the chin and allow the skin to shrink back down. In older individuals that have had a double chin for a long time it might require a combined procedure of liposuction and skin removal, with or without muscle tightening. If the patient is a little older, the ability of the skin to shrink is less and liposuction alone...

Neck suction / double chin
Liposuction of the neck is one of the most favorable procedures a surgeon can do if considering the cost / benefit ratio. the issue is that you have to chose the right patient which ideally is young with tight skin and good elasticity. Youth and good skin quality allows the skin to re-drape favorably after suctioning under the chin.
The more fat under the chin, the less the skin will be able to re-drape nicely. Proper skin re-draping is also a problem in older patients with loose...

Chin liposuction is a great procedure
It has minimal pain, rapid recovery and produces wonderful results for those fat deposits under the chin. I call it the mother of the bride procedure because so many women seek it because they hate how they photograph. This is a quick procedure, taking less than a half hour under local anesthesia or oral pain medication, it is extremely popular, especially in conjunction with fillers such as Radiesse or Restylane for rejuvenation.

Best results with a direct submental lipectomy, not liposuction.
The problem with liposuction for the neck is that there is no way to tell if the fat is deep, and under the platysma or superficial and on top of the platysma. (even for the most experienced surgeons)
If the fat is removed superficially when it is mostly deep, irregularity will result. going deep can be risky without seeing what you are doing.
The best results are obtained with open submental lipectomy, ie direct removal of the fat under vision, from the correct place, tightening of...

Benefits of Chin Liposuction and Double Chin Surgery
There are patients who have a very discrete fat pat that lies right below the chin and into the midline of the neck. It is a very straight forward procedure to use a small liposuction cannula to remove this discrete area of fat. The procedure is done through a very small incision hidden under the chin. The results can be dramatic and very satisfying to patients.

Liosuction of the chin
Some individuals have 'sagging' necks primarily due to fat accumulation below the jawbone (mandible). In some cases, liposuction alone can significantly improve the neck appearance. Liposuction is also frequently combined with surgical neck rejuvenation, and in selected cases some direct excision of fat (through a hidden incision below the chin) is performed. The reduction of fat in the area below the jawline and in the anterior neck almost always makes the neck appear longer, and...

Chin Liposuction versus a Neck Lift
In evaluating a patient who's interested in improving the appearance of the chin and neck, you have to assess how much of the appearance is due to excess fat, and how much is due to excess skin. In general, the more excess fat (relative to excess skin), the better a result can be anticipated from liposuction. The final results of lipo depend on what the patient looks like beforehand, the surgery that's done and - this is key - the ability of the skin to "shrink"...

Chin lipo can be great
1. Chin liposuction can make someone look younger and healthier as long as it is not done as a substitute for a face lift.
2. If there is loose skin of the neck and chin area then liposuction will make the loose skin looser unless it is combined with a face/neck lift.

Benefits of Chin Liposuction
Patients call it the chin but really they mean the area below the chin - what we call the anterior neck. This can be an amazing procedure for the right patient. This means someone with good skin tone and localized excess fat. An additional positive feature is an underlying muscular and skeletal anatomy that lends itself to a sharp and well defined angle between the neck and the lower jaw following the removal of the fat. Occasionally in individuals with a 'weak' chin a procedure...

SmartLipo can be a great treatment for a double chin.
SmartLipo can be a great treatment for a double chin. You need to have a full consultation with a plastic surgeon to make sure that you don't have muscle laxity because liposuction won't help with "musculofascial laxity". Therefore you need to see a doctor that performs both SmartLipo and surgical neck lifts to make sure that you get an opinion based on what procedure is best for you instead of only which procedures the doctor performs.

Chin Liposuction is for someone who does have a double chin or fatty deposit underneath the chin

Liposuction of the neck to correct a "double chin"
Liposuction of the chin/neck (submental area) in the right candidate can give very dramatic results. Patients who are good candidates for this have good skin tone, no loose skin and are relative young (<50 years old). The fat in this area needs to be assessed on physical exam to determine if it is the type of fat (superficial) that will respond to liposuction. This area, because it is concave, responds very well to liposuction. Patients have to wear a...

Chin Liposuction, a safe simple procedure
Liposuction of the chin (neck) is very beneficial in the correct person. If there is isolated fat with good overlying skin tone you are considered a good candidate. Usually this is in someone of a younger age group but with newer techniques today the age group of people who can be candidates has expanded. Your surgeon will be able to tell you by an examination. It is a simple procedure that can give dramatic results.

Chin liposuction can contour the upper neck area nicely
Neck liposuction (upper neck, just under the chin) removes extra fat from that area, giving a sharper contour to the neck and less fullness. This is an office procedure, done under local anesthesia. Be sure to look for a surgeon Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (NOT a "cosmetic surgeon", as they often aren't plastic surgeons at all!).
Now, if you have loose skin with poor elasticity, it may take more than just liposuction to get a good result...

Chin like suction works extremely well
Liposuction of the chin area works extremely well. Patients truly appreciate the significant difference that can be noticed after this procedure. It can help redefine the jaw line and removed some of the heaviness of the face. But the most important factor for a successful result is patient compliance after surgery. In our practice, we routinely tell our patients that they must wear their compression garment 24 hours a day for the first two weeks after surgery. After this time, they must...

Under chin liposuction comfortable under local anesthesia
One of the primary benefits to having lipo under the chin is that it can easily be done under local anesthesia and the recovery is very rapid. The primarly issue is skin tone; if it is too lax, then the skin won't shrink up evenly after the fat is removed. Often we see patients who are in the category where there is a little bit of fat to remove and a little bit of skin laxity but not enough to justify a facelift or necklift. These cases are great for combination liposuction + immediate...

Chin Liposuction
Chin or neck liposuction works to improve jawline, neck, and chin contour with the use of two small incisions placed underneath the skin. Surgery time is minimal and patients have a quick recovery. I perform these procedures in an outpatient surgical center with local anesthesia, iv sedation, or general anesthesia in combination with other procedures.

Chin liposuction is great
Chin/Submental/Neck liposuction can produce great results, especially if it is laser assisted (ex: Smart Lipo). The addition of the laser component allows for a greater degree of skin tightening. This can be performed as a stand alone procedure for patients who complain of neck fullness and poor definition to their neck/jawline. It can also be used in conjunction with neck lifts, and face lifts. It is quick, safe, well tolerated, affordable, and has a short recovery period.

Benefits of chin or submental Liposuction
Liposuction under the chin can be a great procedure for the patient who wants to achieve better neck and chin contour. Depending on your chin and neck anatomy, an isolated chin/neck liposuction can be all that you need. If you have a small chin, a chin implant may also be useful. If you are older and have a sagging neck skin, a neck lift may be more appropriate. In short, a properly performed chin and neck liposuction in the right patient can produced great results with very little...

Chin liposuction, or submental liposuction
Surgeons usually refer to this as submental liposuction, refering to the area under the chin and jaw, especially in the center where fat tends to accumulate. The liposuction is often done along with other procedures like a face lift or chin implant. If the procedure is done by itself, it can be done with local anesthesia.
Some technologies of liposuction like laser liposuction or water-assisted liposuction may have some effect on tightening skin, but regardless the skin tends to redrape...

Chin liposuction removes fat under the chin
As one of the busiest chin liposuction surgeons in the country I have a wealth of experience to offer. I perform at least 30-40 chin liposuction procedures every month. Liposuction is often an important adjunct to facelift/submentoplasty procedures. Liposuction can certainly be performed by itself as well in the appropriate candidate.
Good luck.

Great results from Chin Liposuction
There are several benefits to chin liposuction, especially with SmartLipo. Not only will it remove the fat in the chin and jowl area, it’ll help tighten the area and give you that young youthful look. It’s minimally invasive and we only ask that you wear a head garment for 3 days. Not only will you get immediate gratification, the results will continue to improve over the next 3 to 6 months.

Chin liposuction and neck liposuction are simple and very effective.
Hi.
For people with the right anatomy, the results of chin liposuction and neck liposuction can be amazing. It's a very safe 30 minute procedure, and you are back at work in 5 days.
We have done this for people from age 18 to age 55. It's actually one of the few cosmetic operations that is not done often enough.

Great results in properly selected patients
Some patients have a selective deposit of fat under the chin. There is no excess skin and the platysma muscle is in place. Liposuction will give an excellent result.
With a small excess of skin, some believe that concurrent treatment with a laser might tighten the skin a bit. Although I use the laser, I am not yet convinced that there is a remarkable amount of tightening. I do not disbelieve, just not sure for now.

A little goes a long way for chin liposuction
You would be surprised how a little sub-mental liposuction can make a real change to ones appearance. The lower jaw and chin is an import visual cue that affects how your profile looks. Many times when a patient is considering rhinoplasty they may add liposuction below the chin to enhance the results. The chin liposuction can be performed as an in-office procedure in most cases.
